Walking & Cycling

By swapping your car for walking shoes, you will help to save the planet and your heart will thank you too. Walking in Hume is a great way to learn about your city, neighbours and local community and is easy to do.

TravelSmart Map

Hume City Council has developed TravelSmart maps that show walking, cycling and public transport routes and includes information on walking clubs, bicycle user groups and public transport ticketing. To get a copy of the map email us on GreenTravel@hume.vic.gov.au

Discover your City walking and cycling

For information on walking and cycling tracks, please phone or visit the Sunbury Visitor Information Centre. Or download the 'Discover Your City Walking, Cycling, Places of Interest' maps below. The maps are also available from Hume's Customer Service Centres and Leisure Centres. The two maps cover Hume City; one for Sunbury/Bulla and one for Broadmeadows/Craigieburn. They show places of interest including visitor attractions, playspaces, toilet and recreation facilities, cycling lanes and pathways.

Jacana shimmy route
A shimmy bike route is a signposted route that makes its way through quiet streets. In addition to signage, shimmy routes have bike symbols and arrows on the road surface that tell you which way to go. Hume's first shimmy route weaves its way through the back streets of Jacana to link Broadmeadows Town Centre to the Moonee Ponds Creek Trail and Western Ring Road Trail.

Walking your dog

There are many parks in Hume that are dog friendly, including areas that are designated as off-leash areas to make walking and exercising with your canine friend easy. You can find out more by visiting Walking Your Dog

Hume City Council has prepared a Cycling Facility Feasibility Study. The study recommends the establishment of a dedicated off-road cycling facility in Hume City based on the research and consultation that has been undertaken, subject to a suitable site being available. Due to the regional nature of the facility, it is recommended that the project should only be further pursued when external funding can be secured.

The Hume BUG organises monthly rides and campaigns to improve the local cycling network in Hume. Hume BUG rides once a month and tries to meet roughly once a month at different locations (usually cafes/restaurants). It is free to join and if you are interested in meeting other local cyclists and getting more information on rides or the meetings then email HumeCityBUG@gmail.com or
call 9205 2200.
